"the materialist maximalism does serve the obliterating function Kyle’s talking about” <— thank you for unraveling this thread a bit, it’s very hard to explain, with the parallel “eliminativist tendency”
What did you mean by negative futurist btw? I assumed something like dogs-not-barking or negative space, but some seem to have read it as pessimistic (which isn't right since I don't approach futures with a pessimist/optimist frame at all)
